olyclimber Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 Pi facts: In the Greek alphabet, pi is the sixteenth letter (and 16 is the square of 4). In the English alphabet, p is also the sixteenth letter, and i is the ninth letter (the square of 3). Add them up (16+9), and you get 25 (the square of five). Multiply them (16x9), and you get 144 (the square of 12). Divide 9 by 16, and you get .5625 (the square of .75). It's no wonder that they say, "Pi are squared!" In 1768 Johann Lambert proved Pi is irrational. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olyclimber Posted April 30, 2004 Author Share Posted April 30, 2004 Remember, Pi is irrational! Also, it is more accurate to say that a circle has an infinite number of corners than it is to say it has no corners. Has anyone been up to Mt Constance lately? I have been looking at it all week, and the snow level definitely looks higher than Lake Constance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
